help with adding livestock..

[acanman]

i want to add these fish to my 135 gallon fowlr.. and not sure which order too add them or even if it matters.. this is my first aggressive tank.. i want the following a Miniatus Grouper,stars n stripes or mappa puffer,powder blue tang or yellow belly blue tang maybe both, and was wanting a clown trigger but heard they can get really mean and even kill fish bigger than them and last a large angel either an emperior or Annularis Angelfish.. is there a way i should stock these fish? and btw i already have an australian harlequin tusk..

any input will be appreciated

thats a small tank for a miniatus and a tiny tank for a powder blue

it seems kinda small for quite a few of the fish on there. In my opinion it is to small for the miniatus, stars and stripes, powder blue and any larger angels.

i looked up on fosters and smith and 125 is whats required for the grouper i think its plenty big enough.. and for the tang ive heard of people having them in 75's.. the stars and stripes is only required a 100 gallon

you asked for opinions and thats all I was giving you. It is just my opinion and whether that means anything to you is up to you. I hope that I did'nt offend you in any way. good luck with the tank.

My fav ish is the powder blue. I have keep them for many years in a 55 and 60 with great success. Add the powder blue first.

Many people keep tangs in smaller aquariums. I've got a vlamini that is outgrowing my 150g. As long as you know you may have to upgrade or trade once they get too big, you'll be fine. I would personally add the power blue before a clown tang for sure.

IMO, everything is fine, just get the grouper, trigger, puffer a bit smaller than the rest of the fish. Tangs catch ick quick, unless if you have copper in your main tank, make sure, PLEASE make sure you QUARENTINE!! Tangs are a beauty, but if not treated right, it can lead to wipe-outs. in about 2 years you might need a new home for the grouper though.

It's clear you're going to add the fish regardless, but I feel compelled to suggest that your tank is too small for most, if not all, of the fish you're planning to add, and definitely too small for the combination.
